Ayan Mukerji Completes First Schedule Of War 2 In Spain Without Hrithik And Jr NTR
Ayan Mukerji, the acclaimed director, has wrapped up the first schedule of "War 2" in Spain, a movie that promises to be a game-changer for Indian cinema. This action-packed movie features two of the most sought-after actors in the industry, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. However, here's the catch – the two lead actors were engrossed in their respective projects, "Fighter" and "Devara," shooting in Mumbai and Hyderabad, while Ayan was crafting the chase sequences in Spain, using their skilled stunt doubles.
The world of filmmaking has evolved significantly, allowing for such groundbreaking techniques. Over the course of the last two weeks, Ayan Mukerji made one of the most epic chase sequences in the history of Indian cinema, all the way in Spain. What's fascinating is that he achieved this feat without the actual involvement of the lead actors. Instead, their stunt doubles took centre stage. In a method involving cutting-edge technology, the faces of the body doubles will be seamlessly replaced with those of Hrithik and NTR Jr. during post-production. This cutting-edge approach was previously employed in the making of "Pathaan," where action sequences in Dubai and Russia were shot in a similar manner. As per the latest updates, Hrithik and Jr. NTR. are scheduled to join the production for "War 2" only in December.
The Spain schedule spanned around 12 action-packed days, during which Ayan Mukerji left no stone unturned to find the perfect stunt doubles for his leading stars. A source close to the production revealed that Ayan held auditions for more than 50 talented individuals, scrutinizing each one meticulously to match the body types of Hrithik and Jr. NTR. The selected stunt doubles underwent rigorous test shoots with the actors in Mumbai and Hyderabad before jetting off to Spain, ensuring that every move and action was perfectly in sync with their counterparts.
Following the successful completion of the Spanish shoot, Ayan is gearing up to shoot another exhilarating action sequence. Once that's done, the crew will transition to capturing the conversational and dramatic sequences, featuring Hrithik, Jr. NTR, and Kiara. Fans eagerly anticipating "War 2" won't have to wait too long, as the film is scheduled to grace cinema screens during the Republic Day weekend in 2025.
